The Inspiration for Studies in Educational Evaluation from Post-modernism

Post-modernism is a cultural and philosophical trend of thought prevailing at the end of 20th century.It emphasizes the spirit of reflection and criticism, opposes the centralism and upgrades the non-rationalism, advocates the multiplicity methodology and dialogue,fades out the value judgment etc all these are the prominent features of the thoughts. Based on the analysis of post-modernism, this paper ponders the problem of present studies in educational evaluation aroused by post-modernism.The author thinks studies in educational evaluation should be based on the multiplicity and multi-angle of view methodology, hold the thought model of reflection and animadvert, reconsider the qualitative research and indefinite judgment, advocate the dialogue and communication between the estimator and the other party being judged, weaken the appraisal and classify function of evaluation, emphasize the research and develop function of evaluation.
